Johannes Weiner ecd8b2928f mm: compaction: remove compaction result helpers
Patch series "mm: compaction: cleanups & simplifications".

These compaction cleanups are split out from the huge page allocator
series[1], as requested by reviewer feedback.

This patch (of 5):

The compaction result helpers encode quirks that are specific to the
allocator's retry logic.  E.g.  COMPACT_SUCCESS and COMPACT_COMPLETE
actually represent failures that should be retried upon, and so on.  I
frequently found myself pulling up the helper implementation in order to
understand and work on the retry logic.  They're not quite clean
abstractions; rather they split the retry logic into two locations.

Remove the helpers and inline the checks.  Then comment on the result
interpretations directly where the decision making happens.
